Chapter 0314: One Thousand and Eight Divine Avatars?
Thinking about how a mere mid-tier divine powerhouse among humans could subdue the peak mid-tier divine chaos beast, the Wind-Flame Dragon Qilin, the Six-Winged Flying Ape was shocked. Only then did it realize why it had always felt something was off—this was the problem!
This dark-haired youth must have hidden his true strength. His actual power was undoubtedly greater than that of the Wind-Flame Dragon Qilin; he was far from as simple as he seemed!
Just as it realized this, suddenly, a flash of light appeared within tens of thousands of miles around it. The surroundings changed instantly—instead of the ancient trees and ground before, there was now a sea of fire.
An ocean ablaze with purplish-red flames. What was going on?! The Six-Winged Flying Ape was alarmed and soon realized it was trapped inside some kind of fire-based formation. Could this be the formation set up by that dark-haired human? If so, when? Had it been set up before it appeared, waiting for it to show up?
It had to be! No wonder that dark-haired youth and the Wind-Flame Dragon Qilin were so confident—they were relying on this formation! After being shocked, the Six-Winged Flying Ape sneered in anger. It spread its wings and swung its four arms with all its strength, unleashing four astonishing earth-yellow energy waves that exploded across tens of thousands of miles.
“Hmph!” After launching its attack, the Six-Winged Flying Ape was surprised to see a terrifying vortex appear in the direction of its strike. As the vortex spun, it generated a terrifying sucking force that absorbed its full-power attack. After absorbing it, the vortex continued to spin, and it noticed streams of pure energy flowing out and merging into the sea of fire below, making the fire surge even more violently.
“What kind of fire-based formation is this? It can absorb attacks within the formation and convert them into its own energy?!” The Six-Winged Flying Ape was shocked inwardly.
This fire-based formation was one of the Pangu Formations created by the Yellow Dragon using his transformation technique, EarthEarthEarth, without the opponent’s knowledge—it was the Zhurong Li Fire Formation!
However, as the Yellow Dragon’s magical power grew, he incorporated his divine powers into this formation when setting it up.
That vortex earlier was the Taoist divine technique, “Galaxy Vortex”!
“I never expected that human to be able to set up such a powerful formation. He must have used it to trap the Wind-Flame Dragon Qilin and subdue it. I thought I’d play around with you slowly, hehe… But since things are like this, I’ll just kill you right away!” the Six-Winged Flying Ape sneered. It was confident it could break through this formation, but it would take some effort. To avoid trouble, it had no choice but to…
Soul attack!
An invisible current surged from the sea of souls in its mind and shot toward the grand array. Wherever the soul energy wave passed, the sea of fire was subdued. “A Wind-Fire Dragon Scale at the peak of a mid-tier god—even if its soul is strong, it can at most defend itself and protect itself; it can’t take care of that black-haired youth. As long as that black-haired youth is killed, the array will collapse. As the pet of that black-haired youth, its soul will also be damaged once its master dies. Hehe!” The six-winged ape was secretly delighted.
Yet just as it felt pleased, its expression suddenly changed. “What?! Two soul counterattacks?!” it exclaimed in shock. Right after it launched its soul attack, it was immediately met with two soul counterattacks—one from the Wind-Fire Dragon Scale and another, which was even stronger than the former.
“Could it be…?” The six-winged ape was stunned. That black-haired youth, a mid-to-late stage human god, was also a soul master!
The six-winged ape stepped back, regained its composure after the shock, and laughed sneerily, “Human, I didn’t realize it. Besides being an array master, you’re also a soul master?! No wonder the Wind-Fire Dragon Scale follows you! It’s very rare for a human to possess both skills. Now, I even feel reluctant to kill you!”
Saying this, the six-winged ape pretended to look sorry, but then a cold glint appeared in its eyes. “It’s a shame, but since you’re the master of the Wind-Fire Dragon Scale, you must die!” With that, two giant black rods appeared in its hands. Both rods were identical, thick at the top and thin at the bottom.
But they were enormous—each over a hundred zhang long. This was the first time the Yellow Dragon had seen a god-tier powerhouse using such massive artifacts! However, considering the six-winged ape’s body, which was hundreds of zhang tall like a mountain, these hundred-zhang artifacts didn’t seem that impressive.
With the two black rods summoned, the six-winged ape let out a shrill scream. As it swung the rods, space trembled. Suddenly, two howls merged together, creating a powerful gust of wind that swept forward. The sea of fire rising from the array was blown up and scattered like countless sparks falling through the air. At the same time, the six-winged ape spread its four arms wide and roared. Golden energy columns spun outward from its body, sweeping away every last spark from the sea of fire.
It was the “Assimilation” trait of the metal element’s laws. This six-winged ape wasn’t just a mutated beast; like the Wind-Fire Dragon Scale, it specialized in two elemental laws. Although its mastery of earth and metal laws was profound, it hadn’t yet developed the wind and fire divine bodies like the Wind-Fire Dragon Scale. Still, that was astonishing.
Outside the grand array, upon seeing this, Huang Long’s expression turned grave. He exerted all his strength to activate the array, while waving his hands to gather streams of immortal energy, giving rise to countless sword auras.
“What is this?!” The array trembled, and the Six-Winged Flying Ape was overjoyed. Just as it prepared to further break the array, numerous sword auras approached, forcing it to dodge hastily. When it turned to look again, it was stunned—standing before it was a dense crowd of humans!
There must be a thousand of them?!
A thousand divine avatars?!
The Six-Winged Flying Ape concentrated hard, expanding its consciousness. They were all real—no illusions!
Huh, huh! Even after living for hundreds of millions of years, this was the first time the Six-Winged Flying Ape had no idea what was happening before its eyes.
These were the incarnations Huang Long could use after reaching the Golden Immortal stage—1,008 of them!
Each of these incarnations possessed the strength of a peak Heavenly Immortal.
While the Six-Winged Flying Ape was shocked and unable to accept what it saw, Huang Long’s incarnations suddenly transformed into 1,008 five-clawed golden dragons, each towering a thousand zhang high.
The 1,008 golden dragons let out a thunderous roar in unison. Their 1,008 streams of soul energy converged and struck at the Six-Winged Flying Ape at the center of the array.
By the time the Six-Winged Flying Ape reacted, it frantically launched a soul attack, but it was too late. With a loud crash, its mind trembled, and its sea of souls surged violently. Even though it was a superior divine mutated beast, it suffered some damage from the soul attacks of those 1,008 peak Heavenly Immortal incarnations.
The Six-Winged Flying Ape touched the bloody fluid flowing from its massive mouth, sniffed it, then looked at Huang Long’s 1,008 incarnations and smiled—a sinister smile that made one’s bones shiver: “Heh heh, I never expected you to cultivate 1,008 divine avatars! Though they’re different from ordinary divine avatars, their strength is barely inferior to that of the main body. Good, very good! This time, I really won’t kill you!”
It would capture Huang Long and use every means possible to obtain the insights from this cultivation method.
1,008 divine avatars!
If it could also have 1,008 divine avatars by then, what then?! The Six-Winged Flying Ape’s eyes turned blood-red with fervor. It licked its blood-red tongue, then moved. Its golden divine energy surged forth, like a floating golden sun. Starting from its body, bursts of energy exploded outward in waves, spreading instantly in all directions.
This was the “explosion” attribute of the golden elemental law!
The Six-Winged Flying Ape stared at the 1,008 avatars of the Yellow Dragon, its beastly eyes glowing fiercely. To it, these were the human’s 1,008 divine avatars. If all of them were destroyed, the human soul serving as the main body would surely suffer severe damage.
Yet, with a full-powered strike using the “Explosion” attribute of the metal element law, all 1,008 of the divine avatars suddenly disappeared, and all the attacks landed on the Zhu Rong Li Huo Formation.
The Zhu Rong Li Huo Formation began to crumble, and soon, rays of sunlight from the outside penetrated in.
Boom! Although the Six-Winged Flying Ape’s full-power strike did not hit the Yellow Dragon’s avatars, it managed to break the formation.
With a flash, the Six-Winged Flying Ape managed to escape.
Outside, the ancient trees remained, and it took a deep breath of the fresh air. The Six-Winged Flying Ape smiled at the Yellow Dragon across from it and said, “I didn’t expect your divine avatars to escape. But it’s fine this way. If I had destroyed all of them, your main soul might have suffered backlash. Who knows—maybe you’d even become an idiot! That wouldn’t be good!”
The Yellow Dragon smiled indifferently and shook his head.
The Zhu Rong Li Huo Formation! If it weren’t for his deliberate action, it would have been impossible to break it so easily with just one strike. As soon as the opponent broke free from the formation, the Yellow Dragon had already deployed his Sky-Piercing Umbrella. Whether there was the Zhu Rong Li Huo Formation or not didn’t matter. As soon as the Six-Winged Flying Ape finished speaking, the umbrella unfolded, darkening hundreds of thousands of miles of space. At the same time, a flash appeared between the Yellow Dragon’s eyebrows, and the Group of Immortals Pavilion was summoned, its golden light shining brightly against the dark sky of the umbrella.
After years of being refined by the power of heavenly fire and immortal essence, the Group of Immortals Pavilion had evolved into a mid-tier immortal artifact. When it was summoned, a Five-Clawed Golden Dragon appeared, diving forward with its five claws aimed at the Six-Winged Flying Ape.
With the Sky-Piercing Umbrella and the Group of Immortals Pavilion in place, upon seeing the Five-Clawed Golden Dragon charging at it, the Six-Winged Flying Ape let out a roar of shock and anger. It abandoned its black staff and struck with its giant ape hand: “Human, are you from the Lu Ning family?”
The Yellow Dragon could even command this extraordinary Five-Clawed Golden Dragon, which made the Six-Winged Flying Ape doubt his identity.
But it wasn’t surprising that everyone assumed the Yellow Dragon was from the Lu Ning family. After all, in the entire Netherworld, the Lu Ning family held immense influence.
The Lu Ning family? It’s involved again!
The Yellow Dragon shook his head and smiled, ignoring the other’s confusion. With a thought, the hundreds of thousands of miles of space around the Group of Immortals Pavilion in the sky instantly became colorful, filled with various original beasts swarming like locusts.
A million mutated original beast armies had finally been deployed!
